Think about who Emma Stone needed to beat to score ‘Easy A’ role

Things being what they are, who needs to be Olive Penderghast from the film Easy A? Jennifer Lawrence, that is who.

In The Hollywood Reporter’s Actress Roundtable, the 27-year-old on-screen character opened up about losing the part to Emma Stone.

During a discussion with Stone, Jessica Chastain, Mary J. Blige, Saoirse Ronan and Allison Janney, the young actress revealed that she auditioned for the 2010 movie and ‘wanted it so bad.’ But, the movie just wasn’t in the cards for Lawrence, who went on to star in the Hunger Games franchise.

In response, Stone teased her pal, telling her, “Well, guess what? (Laughter.) You didn’t get it. You didn’t get it because you suck!”
